Instructions
Now that you’ve gathered your ingredients, it’s time to prepare the sandwich. Follow these steps to ensure a deliciously satisfying breakfast:
Step 1: Prepare the Biscuits
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
- Add the cold butter cubes to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add the buttermilk, stirring until the dough comes together.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently for about 30 seconds.
- Roll the dough to a 1-inch thickness and use a biscuit cutter to cut out rounds.
- Place the biscuit rounds on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown. Remove and let cool slightly.
Step 2: Cook the Ham and Eggs
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the ham slices. Cook until crispy and slightly browned, about 2 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add butter or oil. Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook to your preferred doneness. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 3: Assemble the Sandwich
- Slice the biscuits in half and place a slice of ham on the bottom half of each biscuit.
- Top the ham with a cooked egg.
- Add optional toppings like cheese, spinach, or avocado if desired.
- Place the other half of the biscuit on top to complete the sandwich.
